Lighting the Grill
1. Place about 1 to 2 kg of charcoal into the fi re bowl.
2. Place 1 or 2 Natural Fire Starter Cubes in the charcoal so 1/4 of cube is visible.
3. Open bottom vent fully and leave the hood open.
4. Light the Fire Starter Cubes. Charcoal will be ready in around 15-20 minutes.
5. Close the hood and adjust air fl ow until the desired temperature is reached.
Opening the vents makes the charcoal burn hotter.
6. Pre-heat for 15 minutes prior to cooking. Do not cook before the fuel has a coating
of ash.
NOTE: A charcoal starter chimney is a helpful alternative for lighting.
CAUTION
Fire and explosion hazard! Do not use lighter fl uid, gas or other
combustible liquids to ignite the Charcoal. Liquid chemicals are a fi re
and explosion hazard and they will cause an undesirable taste to food.
Do not use "Instant Light" briquettes. This will cause the same undesirable
taste.
Controlling the Temperature
1. With the Charcoal fully lit and hood closed, make sure the bottom vent is fully open.
2. Open the top damper vent fully and monitor the temperature until it reaches your
desired temperature.
3. Close the top damper vent half way, wait 5 minutes and check the temperature.
4. Adjusting the top damper vent by either closing it more (lower temperature) or
opening it more (higher temperature).
5. Monitor the temperature during cooking and if you notice that the temperature
has moved outside your desired range, adjust the top damper vent in very small
increments and wait 1-2 minutes.
